Tracks



01. Aporia

[Instrumental]

02. Asterion

A past once forgotten
Reappears and reinstates
The nature of man
This orbital firestorm
Foreshadows my return
I shall regain power over the remnants of earth
I have returned
All shall obey and kneel before your new god
Salvation becoming a specter
Blurring the line between
Freedom and indoctrination

03. Interregnum

Entranced by the contrast of the sun
Against the world that I once loved
I shall praise the stars above
For these empires
Turned to dust

Absence of control is all I see
The end of an age of tyranny
Chaos is sown in the soil
Believe in me and you will see

All of my life
I've watched from the outside

We were never free
We refuse to see
The future form that we could be
A specter of earth
Now and forever

Absence of control is all I see
The end of an age of tyranny
Chaos is sown in the soil
Believe in me and you will see

All of my life
I've watched from the outside
All of my life
I've watched from the outside
Believe in me and you will see

Absence of control is all I see
The end of an age of tyranny
Chaos is sown in the soil
Believe in me and you will see

04. Imperialus

The ashes of unrest do a dance under a cold sky
Fireflies, made from our demise

These shadow empires entombed
These ashes are all that's left of home
Pages of the skinned, carried off in the wind
Into a distant sky, to be spoken again

Screams of the flock
Cry out for design

This power of one
A savior to none

These shadow empires entombed
These ashes are all that's left of home
Pages of the skinned, carried off in the wind
Into a distant sky, to be spoken again

The skies open and paints a portrait with no use of color
The ground reflects a world that has been torn asunder

My home has been entombed under ashes
My only hope is to envision a new world

05. Anathema

A right to remain
Bearing the scars of
This world - never deserved
The strength to sustain

Systematically scorching
This world - never deserved
A chance to leave
An imprint upon the stars

A life to regain
Is a life worth disdain
When the only world left
Has been consumed in flames

Send your cries to a vacant sky
Shrouded in darkness, I stand
Pleading for the light to shine again

I speak with my eyes
To denounce the origin
Of centuries draped in black

Tears are lost into the rain
Which washes away
The hope to remain

Send your cries to a vacant sky
Shrouded in darkness, I stand
Pleading for the light to shine again

Send your cries to a vacant sky
Shrouded in darkness, I stand
Pleading for the light to shine again

06. Catechism

The optical feed manipulated
The resolution only simulated
A binary masterpiece between two realms

A quantum dance - mentally entranced
You pray to yourself bearing the sign of a god
Now you know who humans have prayed to all along
Bound by your faith
Instilled by your hate
You deserve nothing more than this moment to pray

Matter becomes transparent
Accepting the farce of human sentience
Remain in a state of cognitive discord

Modulation through systematic control
Grasping for air - increasing this data flow

Pineal glands stabilized
Adrenal glands amplified
I feel everything

A quantum dance - mentally entranced
You pray to yourself bearing the sign of a god
Now you know who humans have prayed to all along
Bound by your faith
Instilled by your hate
You deserve nothing more than this moment to pray

Clawing at the ground
Feel the texture of a nation
Turned to ashes

Breathe the air of this fallen world once again
Now your body will rejoin to repay the earth

Nervous system collapsing
Optical implants refracting

This fleeting moment is nothing more than...

A quantum dance - mentally entranced
You pray to yourself bearing the sign of a god
Now you know who humans have prayed to all along
Bound by your faith
Instilled by your hate
You deserve nothing more than this moment to pray

08. Eleftheria

My heart is whole again
Bathed in the light of this blue gem

Waiting for the moment
To breathe the air of this free world

My mind is free from god
Seeing a world untouched and unflawed

Waiting for the moment
To breathe the air of this free world

My eyes have opened
Building this world we will redefine heaven

Waiting for the moment
To breathe the air of this free world

Breathe the air of this free world

09. Empyrean

We are the dust of a new generation
Here and now, taking heart in this salvation
Fearless and free from subjugation

We are all bound to the sky
For our birthright, stars had to die
We will remain for eons
Bound to the sky

Abolish a world bound by deception
To affirm the future of Empyrean for
Eons
Eons
The right to remain godless and free for eons

Fusing this flesh
With the machines
To spread the seed of humanity
My eyes will retain these burning stars
To seal and repair these ancient scars

We are all bound to the sky
For our birthright, stars had to die
We will remain for eons
Bound to the sky

Fearless and free
Fearless and free

I have the right to remain
The strength to sustain
A life to regain
We are fearless and free

We are all bound to the sky
For our birthright, stars had to die
We will remain for eons
Bound to the sky

This final Empire
This last Horizon

10. Infineon

A simple glance upward
Is all I need
To shatter the silence
Of an apathetic breed

Exceed the standards of our past
The illusion of god has been exiled at last

Fables once used to control
Have faded away
No need to kneel
No need to fear
A simple glance upward is all we need

The past was bound by individual pride
Only to be crushed by the weight of the sky

Embrace the breed
Of those who have been freed
From the chains of this godlike disease

Fables once used to control
Have faded away
No need to kneel
No need to fear
A simple glance upward is all we need

We fear death for we are flawed
Although we die we will rejoin
We are forever

No need to kneel
No need to fear
A simple glance upward is all we need

11. Terminus

Breathe the air of this modern world
The scattered seeds have sown a generation
Whose evolution is both body and mind

I see a world destined to leave its imprint upon the stars
Condemning their past to the blackness of space
This future empire will never find the books that enslave

We were born to conquer the stars
This freedom will conquer the gods

We assemble among these stars as brothers, not tyrants
We are finally free from gods

None shall obey or kneel before any god
We can now see
This future form as reality

Our voices are carried off in the wind
Into a distant sky, to be spoken again

We were born to conquer the stars
This freedom will conquer the gods

We were born to conquer the stars
This freedom will conquer the gods

We shall not bear the weight of our past
Nor inject ourselves with its poison

There is no place for faith
There is no reason to hate

Arise from your knees
There is no use to pray

Our voices, carried off in the wind
Into a distant sky
Open your eyes
For we have redefined heaven

We were born to conquer the stars
This freedom will conquer the gods

We assemble among these stars as brothers, not tyrants
We are finally free from gods

None shall obey or kneel before any god
We can now see
This future form as reality

We were born to conquer the stars
This freedom will conquer the gods
We assemble among these stars as brothers, not tyrants

This final empire
This last horizon
A simple glance upward was all we needed

We were born to conquer the stars
This freedom will conquer the gods
We assemble among these stars as brothers, not tyrants
